Stop Getting Burned by Contractor Apps

A Public Service Announcement for Homeowners

Please stop using Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, and similar contractor apps.

If you’ve ever wondered why estimates feel inflated, why contractors ghost you, or why the whole process feels rushed and impersonal… this is why.

The Truth About These Apps (That No One Tells You)

Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, and platforms like them operate on a broken business model.

Here’s how it really works:

-They spend millions on ads to attract homeowners

-They sell your job as a “lead” to contractors

-They send the same job to 5–10 contractors

-They get paid every single time a contractor clicks

-That means one homeowner request can generate 10 payments for the app.

Who Pays the Price?

Contractors pay hundreds—or thousands—per month just to compete.

And guess where that cost ends up?

👉 In your estimate.

Out of 10 contractors bidding: - 9 pay for the lead - 1 might get the job - All 10 are pressured to move fast,

cut corners, or overcharge to survive

Nine out of ten people lose.

Why Homeowners Get Screwed when contractors are forced into pay-to-play bidding wars:

-Prices are artificially inflated

-Quality suffers

-Communication breaks down

-Long-term relationships don’t exist

You’re not getting “competitive pricing.”

You’re getting desperate pricing.
